Trump sues News Corp and Wall Street Journal for $10B over birthday card report, denying he sent it.

Donald Trump has sued Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp and the Wall Street Journal for $10 billion over a report alleging he sent a bawdy birthday card to Jeffrey Epstein, claiming it defamed him. Murdoch’s legal team argues the lawsuit violates the First Amendment and points to Trump’s past public remarks as undermining the claim. Trump’s lawyers say evidence, including a card from Epstein’s estate, doesn’t prove he sent it and accuse the Journal of sensationalism. Despite their shared political interests—Trump relies on Fox News, Murdoch benefits from Fox’s alignment—both men remain locked in a high-stakes legal and public feud. A prior $15 billion suit against The New York Times was dismissed for procedural flaws, but Trump has refiled. The case continues without resolution.
